There's no screwing around with this book. The author pulls the reader right in at the first page! Before getting this book I read a reviewer that compared the book to a mix between the Island of Dr. Moreau & The Lost World. After reading the book, I don't think I would choose that comparison. If I remember correctly, The Lost World was man made & left to evolve & Dr. Moreau too was man made "freaks" of nature. The theme in this book is an incredibly remote island that is an environment all to it's self. Too far from other land forms to be able to interact with them. So what you have is this incredible "alien" island filled with life forms that we have never seen. The author has a vivid imagination creating creatures all mankind should fear. Once this island is discovered in our time, the question is what to do about it. I wont say more than that so I don't ruin the story. I will say that there was an unexpected addition towards the end that I liked a lot! The ending was great - Unlike many books that start out great but have unsatisfying endings (like the author didn't know how to end it).Highly recommend! Mejunje en el que se mezclan un Reality show (la isla de los famosos) con cientificos en un barco y una isla apartado de todo en la que la evoluci��n ha hecho de las suyas.La frase que dice una de las protagonistas (mas o menos)-Me hice botanica despues de que mi madre muriera por la picadura de una medusa. ��las plantas no se te pueden comer, no?Lo dice todo.Demencial.
